He is going to start me on Lyrica 75 mg twice a day. I haven't had much time to research this drug, but the little I have done it seems to work wonders on many people. Does anyone have any 1st hand experience with this drug that they can share with me? Thx all

Lyrica helped me alot at first but I found that I started having bad episodes of depression and even day dreams of dying terrible deaths.. it was awful.. I got so morbid and depressed. I finaly researched all of my meds and found that lyrica can cause suicidal behavior.
The dreams and visions,feelings and emotions were so real it was like I was a diffrent person, the way I felt.. like there was nothing left to live for, when in reality I Know I have so much
and love in my life, thank goodness I have a good suport system that went on alert.. it was a very bad time in my life.
When I went off the lyrica I went off slowly and the worst of the depression also went away, I no longer get those visions of terible things happening.. I still get depressed, but nothing like the dark cloud that had me thinking there was no hope, I am no longer a danger to myself.
I would sugest that you research any medicine that your doctor puts you on so that you are aware of any possible symptoms as they come along, before they become a major problem.
Lyrica is suposed to come with a suicide warning but my doctor was unaware of it.
Good luck and be well,
